Crema Coffeehouse

I found Crema thanks to a post on Denveater. I am really looking forward to going in there, but in the meantime, here is some info on their website:

Crema is an artisanal coffeehouse; meaning that we look at coffee as both a craft and an art form. The coffee at Crema is made with either a French press or with a lever espresso machine. French press coffee creates a smooth, pure coffee flavor using a simple but effective process that doesn’t pass through a filter so you don’t lose those natural aromatic coffee oils. Most coffee lovers agree that this process creates a superior cup of coffee. So it is with lever espresso machines, known for their compelling simplicity of design and the unique flavor profile of the beverage they produce. Lever espresso machines are manual brewing devices that use a lever to push down a piston, which provides the right amount of pressure needed to brew espresso. The espresso making process of lever machines favors slow, thoughtful movements, an almost Zen-like moment of calm, focused creation. Pulling a perfect espresso shot from a lever espresso machine is a truly rewarding experience. The barista actually becomes a part of the brewing process. Lever machines also offer old world style and craftsmanship with the ability to brew exquisite espresso.

My issue when I visited here was that there was an odd smell throughout the whole place that seemed to penetrate the coffee as well. The latte I received was gorgeous and delicious, except for the smell that was the finishing taste of every sip. I should go back and try again.

Great little shop. The coffee is from Novo and done very well-their beans can be tricky. It is comfortable, they have fast wifi, and interesting magazines laying around. they have some neat food options, and the oatmeal latte is divine.
